Talk Radio - 413 words
Talk Radio In Talk Radio, Oliver Stone brings
together all venues of filmmaking to capture the
story he wants to tell. With tremendous
collaboration from the DP, the production
designer, the writer, and the performers, Stone
calculated a tight, moving film in high style.
Beginning with the script, Stone and Bogosian
formed a laborious respect in the nature of the
piece. They each understood the underlying theme
that Barry repeats over and over again. If you
dont like it, why dont you turn it off? (sic) They
went after the build up of Barrys paranoia and
need for voice/attention, knowing all along he
would have to die for the film to mean anything.
We start the film off in the clutches of its ...

Digital Broadcasting - 1,550 words
... ver increasing influx of new independent radio
stations like Virgin 1215 and Talk Radio have
challenged the BBCs long time monopoly. The BBC
itself introduced Radio5, then re-launched it to
become a 24 hour news and sports station called
Radio Five Live. The advance of technology in the
last ten years has brought the British public more
choice. Sky and Cable broadcasting companies have
been offering a wider range of programmes on and
anything, Originally un-regulated the massive
scale of choice brought new sources of
entertainment. As in 1937 when the FA Cup final
was first broadcast on radio, the Cricket World
Cup of 1992 was exclusive to Sky Sports causing
major increases in sales. Ter ...

Hate Speech - 723 words
Hate Speech Hate speech, particularly talk radio
show hosts continue to cross the line. They do so
with regularity, receive a slap on the wrist and
then return making excuses for their exploits, and
damning the one or more of their followers for
acting out violence after hearing the radio host
comments. In fact, in an article in the New York
Times on 1-1-95 Don Baker of KVOR radio in
Colorado Springs, Colo. removed himself from the
air. Mr.Baker encouraged listeners to take guns to
Washington to protest a ban on assault weapons.
Callers to his show accused him of inspiring
Francis M. Duran, a Colorado Springs man, to fire
shots at the White House. Mr. Baker removed
himself from his show in N ...

Intelligence - 1,476 words
Intelligence The increasingly difficult life for
low IQ people is not caused by high IQ people, but
by other factors. Segregation and tension occur
across IQ lines by the nature of humanity and not
by the implications of high IQ people. Let's face
it, life is tough for everyone regardless of his
or her placement on the intelligence scale. You're
too smart, too stupid, too beautiful, too ugly,
too hard, too soft, too nice too mean; we've all
heard it. Almost everyone can indicate some
inherent trait that has made his or her life
difficult. Individuals with a low IQ may point out
that their low level of g has been the cause of
problems in life. Intelligence researchers have
found strong eviden ...

Media Too Powerful - 1,405 words
... show came under even more scrutiny, and many
people felt that Jenny Jones and her show was also
responsible for this murder. People can't have
trust in the media and many don't feel they can
trust the judicial system. The media has taken it
one step further, there is a book in the works on
this case and they are negotiating a movie. It is
hard to believe anyone could profit from this
(French 1). Was the Vietnam War lost because of
the media or because of political policies
executed by senior commanders in Vietnam and by
elected officials in Washington? The military
claims that American reporters had free access to
most battlefields, and were against the American
effort. Officers claim t ...

Prejudice - 1,362 words
... zed the show "Murphy Brown" for depicting a
single working mom having a child out of wedlock.
The second most powerful man in the world was
being prejudice towards women for working and not
staying at home with their children. He was
blasted by some of the media, yet he still found
quite a few followers from our society. Society
has come along way with beliefs of the roles of
women, but we certainly have a lot further to
travel. Another example I would like to present is
one that I experienced in a military Equal
Opportunity Training class I participated in. The
instructor began the class by stating she would
give an example of gender prejudice if we would
listen to her story and then wr ...

Same Sex Marriage - 1,976 words
... ense of any kind in one state, it is upheld in
the other states as well. It also notes that
congress has the right to define the effect in
which one state's laws act upon another state
(Kersch, 1996). This is not meant to take away all
of the state's rights, just that the state has to
present reasons why it will not accept another
states laws. DOMA takes away that aspect of the
Full Faith and Credit Clause. The normal rule for
interstate marriage is to uphold the marriage as
long as it is valid where it was originally
celebrated (Kersch, 1996). The Full Faith and
Credit Clause keeps states from selectively
discriminating based on how desirable or obnoxious
the other states policy is. Thu ...

Who Killed Jonbenet - 1,071 words
Who Killed Jonbenet The brutal murder of
6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey on Christmas night in
1996 shocked America to its core. Just as the
Lindbergh baby kidnapping and murder seven decades
earlier had seared the nation's consciousness,
this murder - of a beautiful and talented child in
a wealthy Boulder, Colorado home --renewed every
parent's worst nightmare. It has been nearly three
years since this violent crime occurred and no one
has been brought to justice. At 6:48 p.m., Dec.
23, 1996, a 911 call was placed from the Ramsey
home to the Boulder Police Department. The call
was terminated before a police dispatcher could
speak to the caller. Six minutes later the police
called the Ramsey home ...
